A new Magna Carta for our times


“Magna Carta (1215) was the first document forced onto an English King by a group of his subjects (the barons) in an attempt to limit his powers by law and protect their privileges.” (www.wikipedia.org)

Let us think of President Obama in the place of the English King, and the Group of G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa. this week as Obama’s Barons.

The present-day Barons – the Presidents of the G-20 countries – are restless.

They are not happy with the conduct of affairs of their King, Obama. (more)
